I'm so glad I finally found a solution to my laundry woes - a portable clothes dryer that's perfect for small spaces!
Living in a chilly climate, I used to have to wait 2-3 days for clothes to dry on my balcony, which was just not ideal. I have a big clothes dryer, but it's a hassle to set up indoors because it takes up too much space and my kid loves to run around and try to knock it over. So, I ended up putting the big dryer on the balcony, and it took ages (I mean, 2-3 days) for the clothes to dry. But what do you do when you need to dry essential items quickly?
For me, it's mostly my kid's clothes that are essential. They get dirty quickly, and I was struggling to find a solution. That's when I stumbled upon a clothes dryer that runs on a battery at the local store.
It may be small, but it's been a total lifesaver. Let me tell you why:
The Details
Product Name: Clothes Dryer by PKM Master Plast
Price: 200-300 rubles. To be honest, I don't remember exactly because I bought it six months ago.
Dimensions: 60*23.5 cm (but they also have a smaller version, 45*23.5 cm)
Packaging
The packaging is pretty basic - just a transparent plastic bag. You can see what you're getting and how the dryer is put together. It's easy to open with a quick hand movement or even with scissors.
Inside, there's a small instruction manual with the basics - nothing too complicated. It's all about keeping things simple.
The manual has all the essential info - size, picture, manufacturer, and recommendations.
Clothes Dryer
It's made up of three parts:
basetwo handle-holdersI was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to assemble the base and handle-holders. The plastic fixers snap into place, and it's a straightforward process.
The finish on the whole thing is super smooth, with no rough edges - so it's impossible to scratch it.
The paint job is top-notch, and after six months, there's not a single scratch or blemish on the surface.
Wiping it down with a cloth, sponge, or even a damp cloth is a breeze.
Assembly
I have to admit, I struggled a bit with assembly - I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and it took me a while to figure out which prongs to attach the plastic fixers to. Hint: it's the end prongs.
At first, I thought the cutouts on the fixers were too small to fit the end prongs, but it turns out they're just a bit tricky to line up.
After a few minutes of fiddling, I finally got the first side assembled. The second side was a bit more challenging, as the first side kept falling apart.
As I'm not exactly a power-user, I found it a bit tricky to secure the fixers to the prongs. But with a bit of patience, I managed to get it done.
And that's it - now it's ready to go on battery power.
Usage
Here's how it goes without a dryer:
Not great, right?
Around my miracle helper:
Simple as can be: Hang the dryer on a radiator, then clothes on the dryer.
Since we don't have central heating at home yet, I do this: hang everything on this dryer, and next to it, I turn on the space heater - voila, clothes dry quickly.
And when I used it last spring - with no heating, clothes were dry in an hour.
✅Takes up little space
✅Not expensive
✅Doesn't get damaged
✅Helps dry clothes quickly
✅Good quality
✅Easy to store
❌It was a bit of a struggle to attach the clips to the rods (but that's just me, maybe someone else will find it easy)
❌Water drips onto the floor, need to lay down a towel
Verdict
So, in a nutshell, I can confidently recommend this dryer with 100% certainty.
Despite it being small and only handling clothes up to 5 kg (if you put more, the rods might break) - it's a lifesaver and saves time waiting for clothes to dry. Even if I get my kid's shirt dirty, I don't have to wait until the laundry pile gets too big to start washing. I quickly hand-wash it and hang it up.
With central heating, it's a fantastic helper in the house. Quality and price match.
It can be stored anywhere, takes up little space.
The main downside is that when drying in a room, water drips down, and you need to lay down a towel to avoid damaging the skirting boards. We have laminate flooring in one room - I'm too scared to hang it there, fearing it might warp.
This thing is a total game-changer. I was wondering, can you even dry your shoes on it?
live_helpFeatured FAQ
Is this portable clothes dryer suitable for small spaces?
Yes, it's perfect for small spaces like balconies, tiny apartments, or RVs. Just make sure you have a stable surface to place it on and enough ventilation for the air to circulate.
How long does it take to dry clothes?
The drying time is a bit longer than I expected, but it's still much faster than waiting 2-3 days for clothes to dry on my balcony. It usually takes around 1-2 hours to dry a full load, depending on the thickness of the clothes and the ambient temperature.
Does it come with a cord?
No, it's a battery-powered clothes dryer, which means you'll need to recharge it periodically. But don't worry, the battery life is longer than I expected, and you can easily do multiple loads without needing to recharge.
Is it easy to use and set up?
Yes, it's super easy to use and set up. Just plug it in, add your clothes, and let it do its thing. The design is sleek and compact, which makes it easy to store when not in use.
What's the build quality like?
The build quality is solid, and the buttons feel really nice to press. It's clearly a well-made product that's designed to last.
Is it quiet?
Yes, it's really quiet, which is a nice bonus when you're trying to do laundry in a small space. You can easily have a conversation while it's running without needing to raise your voice.
What's the warranty like?
The warranty is decent, but I wouldn't say it's the best in the industry. You get a 1-year limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. But if you're not satisfied with the product, you can always contact customer support for assistance.
Can I return it if I'm not satisfied?
Yes, you can return it within 30 days of purchase if you're not satisfied with the product. Just make sure you follow the return policy and contact customer support for assistance.
